Lives Taken

Bounty

Abilities

Overview

Ancient spirits of the coldest North, capable of corrupting the souls of everyone they kill with their frosty hands.

Ice Reapers are fast-moving icy spirits who move quickly to intercept troops, sport medium magic resistance, deal high damage per second and have a good amount of health for a fast-moving enemy. Compounding things further is their capability of spawning Apex Shards every time they kill one of your troops, meaning that they can overrun a low-leveled barracks in no time.

Strategy

When soldiers are killed by Ice Reapers, Apex Shard spawns from the dead. Make sure your Barracks troops are leveled up enough so that they don't fall to the Ice Reapers. This doesn't happen near the exits.

Because they are one of the healthiest high-speed enemies in the franchise, the need for upgraded barracks troops is inevitable.

Dark Knights with Armor of Thorns will make shorter work of Ice Reapers than most other enemies since they receive extra damage due to their extra hit. Furthermore, Dark Knights' very high armor will greatly soften the damage from Ice Reapers, making them far less likely to die and be turned into Apex Shards.

If Possessed, the enemies it kills will spawn permanently-allied Apex Shards.
